Enhanced Oil Recovery Technologies, 4th Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic is a continuation of the previous successful Topic “Enhanced Oil Recovery Technologies, 3rd Edition”.

For many years, there has been a clear trend of increasing energy demand. Despite the energy transition, oil and natural gas will remain as the main energy source for the next several dozen years. As the reservoir is depleted during primary recovery, oil recovery becomes increasingly difficult, even though the deposits are not yet completely recovered. Therefore, it is essential to develop innovative methods to increase oil recovery from known reservoirs. Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been considered as the most promising technology to increase the recovery factor.

This topic has been proposed to international journals to further disseminate the results of basic research, laboratory investigations and field testing or implementation in areas of the following topics:

• Studies of Fluids and Interfaces in Porous Media;
• Complex interfacial rheology and multiphase flow;
• Fundamental Research on Surfactants and Polymers;
• Development of Techniques for Gas Flooding (CO₂, N₂, Foam, etc.);
• Thermal Recovery;
• Emerging Technologies, including Smart Water and Microbial EOR;
• Hybrid Technology;
• Related Technologies, including carbon capture and sequestration (CCS).
• Artificial intelligence/machine learning/deep learning applications in EOR techniques

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
